Summary

Patrick Henry High in Glade Spring, VA, is a public high school serving 390 students in grades 9–12 as part of Washington County Public Schools. The school has a history of strong performance—ranking in the 90th percentile statewide as recently as 2023-2024—but the latest 2025-2026 data shows a sharp drop. Patrick Henry now ranks 176th out of 331 Virginia high schools (47th percentile, 2 stars), down from 56th the prior year, making it the lowest-ranked high school in its district. Nearby schools outpace it significantly: Holston High ranks 10th, Northwood High ranks 11th, and Chilhowie High ranks 31st.

The decline is visible across core subjects. Geometry proficiency fell from 100% in 2023-2024 to 81.5% in 2025-2026, well below the district average of 94.6%. Biology dropped from 88.8% to 68.0%—behind Northwood (94.7%) and Chilhowie (88.9%). English Reading (90.1%) and Algebra I remain strong, at or above state averages. Subgroup measures also declined broadly, particularly for female and White students, while male and low-income student groups remain in the upper half statewide.

Despite the academic dip, Patrick Henry excels at keeping students on track. The graduation rate is 96.0% and the dropout rate is just 0.9%, both better than district and state averages. The school spends $11,547 per student with a 12.8:1 student-teacher ratio—resources that compare favorably to nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is 18.2%, above the state average of 14.8% but improved from 29.1% two years ago. Notably, poverty doesn't explain the gap: Holston High serves a nearly identical share of students in poverty yet ranks 10th in Virginia. For parents, Patrick Henry remains a supportive school with strong completion outcomes, but the latest data signals a need for renewed focus in math and science.
